// This comment describes:
// 1. ART boot images in general (their types, structure, file layout, etc.)
// 2. build system support for boot images
//
// 1. ART boot images
// ------------------
//
// A boot image in ART is a set of files that contain AOT-compiled native code and a heap snapshot
// of AOT-initialized classes for the bootclasspath Java libraries. A boot image is compiled from a
// set of DEX jars by the dex2oat compiler. A boot image is used for two purposes: 1) it is
// installed on device and loaded at runtime, and 2) other Java libraries and apps are compiled
// against it (compilation may take place either on host, known as "dexpreopt", or on device, known
// as "dexopt").
//
// A boot image is not a single file, but a collection of interrelated files. Each boot image has a
// number of components that correspond to the Java libraries that constitute it. For each component
// there are multiple files:
// - *.oat or *.odex file with native code (architecture-specific, one per instruction set)
// - *.art file with pre-initialized Java classes (architecture-specific, one per instruction set)
// - *.vdex file with verification metadata for the DEX bytecode (architecture independent)
//
// *.vdex files for the boot images do not contain the DEX bytecode itself, because the
// bootclasspath DEX files are stored on disk in uncompressed and aligned form. Consequently a boot
// image is not self-contained and cannot be used without its DEX files. To simplify the management
// of boot image files, ART uses a certain naming scheme and associates the following metadata with
// each boot image:
// - A stem, which is a symbolic name that is prepended to boot image file names.
// - A location (on-device path to the boot image files).
// - A list of boot image locations (on-device paths to dependency boot images).
// - A set of DEX locations (on-device paths to the DEX files, one location for one DEX file used
// to compile the boot image).
//
// There are two kinds of boot images:
// - primary boot images
// - boot image extensions
//
// 1.1. Primary boot images
// ------------------------
//
// A primary boot image is compiled for a core subset of bootclasspath Java libraries. It does not
// depend on any other images, and other boot images may depend on it.
//
// For example, assuming that the stem is "boot", the location is /apex/com.android.art/javalib/,
// the set of core bootclasspath libraries is A B C, and the boot image is compiled for ARM targets
// (32 and 64 bits), it will have three components with the following files:
// - /apex/com.android.art/javalib/{arm,arm64}/boot.{art,oat,vdex}
// - /apex/com.android.art/javalib/{arm,arm64}/boot-B.{art,oat,vdex}
// - /apex/com.android.art/javalib/{arm,arm64}/boot-C.{art,oat,vdex}
//
// The files of the first component are special: they do not have the component name appended after
// the stem. This naming convention dates back to the times when the boot image was not split into
// components, and there were just boot.oat and boot.art. The decision to split was motivated by
// licensing reasons for one of the bootclasspath libraries.
//
// As of November 2020 the only primary boot image in Android is the image in the ART APEX
// com.android.art. The primary ART boot image contains the Core libraries that are part of the ART
// module. When the ART module gets updated, the primary boot image will be updated with it, and all
// dependent images will get invalidated (the checksum of the primary image stored in dependent
// images will not match), unless they are updated in sync with the ART module.
//
// 1.2. Boot image extensions
// --------------------------
//
// A boot image extension is compiled for a subset of bootclasspath Java libraries (in particular,
// this subset does not include the Core bootclasspath libraries that go into the primary boot
// image). A boot image extension depends on the primary boot image and optionally some other boot
// image extensions. Other images may depend on it. In other words, boot image extensions can form
// acyclic dependency graphs.
//
// The motivation for boot image extensions comes from the Mainline project. Consider a situation
// when the list of bootclasspath libraries is A B C, and both A and B are parts of the Android
// platform, but C is part of an updatable APEX com.android.C. When the APEX is updated, the Java
// code for C might have changed compared to the code that was used to compile the boot image.
// Consequently, the whole boot image is obsolete and invalidated (even though the code for A and B
// that does not depend on C is up to date). To avoid this, the original monolithic boot image is
// split in two parts: the primary boot image that contains A B, and the boot image extension that
// contains C and depends on the primary boot image (extends it).
//
// For example, assuming that the stem is "boot", the location is /system/framework, the set of
// bootclasspath libraries is D E (where D is part of the platform and is located in
// /system/framework, and E is part of a non-updatable APEX com.android.E and is located in
// /apex/com.android.E/javalib), and the boot image is compiled for ARM targets (32 and 64 bits),
// it will have two components with the following files:
// - /system/framework/{arm,arm64}/boot-D.{art,oat,vdex}
// - /system/framework/{arm,arm64}/boot-E.{art,oat,vdex}
//
// As of November 2020 the only boot image extension in Android is the Framework boot image
// extension. It extends the primary ART boot image and contains Framework libraries and other
// bootclasspath libraries from the platform and non-updatable APEXes that are not included in the
// ART image. The Framework boot image extension is updated together with the platform. In the
// future other boot image extensions may be added for some updatable modules.
//
//
// 2. Build system support for boot images
// ---------------------------------------
//
// The primary ART boot image needs to be compiled with one dex2oat invocation that depends on DEX
// jars for the core libraries. Framework boot image extension needs to be compiled with one dex2oat
// invocation that depends on the primary ART boot image and all bootclasspath DEX jars except the
// Core libraries.
//
// 2.1. Libraries that go in the boot images
// -----------------------------------------
//
// The contents of each boot image are determined by the PRODUCT variables. The primary ART APEX
// boot image contains libraries listed in the ART_APEX_JARS variable in the AOSP makefiles. The
// Framework boot image extension contains libraries specified in the PRODUCT_BOOT_JARS and
// PRODUCT_BOOT_JARS_EXTRA variables. The AOSP makefiles specify some common Framework libraries,
// but more product-specific libraries can be added in the product makefiles.
//
// Each component of the PRODUCT_BOOT_JARS and PRODUCT_BOOT_JARS_EXTRA variables is either a simple
// name (if the library is a part of the Platform), or a colon-separated pair <apex, name> (if the
// library is a part of a non-updatable APEX).
//
// A related variable PRODUCT_UPDATABLE_BOOT_JARS contains bootclasspath libraries that are in
// updatable APEXes. They are not included in the boot image.
//
// One exception to the above rules are "coverage" builds (a special build flavor which requires
// setting environment variable EMMA_INSTRUMENT_FRAMEWORK=true). In coverage builds the Java code in
// boot image libraries is instrumented, which means that the instrumentation library (jacocoagent)
// needs to be added to the list of bootclasspath DEX jars.
//
// In general, there is a requirement that the source code for a boot image library must be
// available at build time (e.g. it cannot be a stub that has a separate implementation library).
//
// 2.2. Static configs
// -------------------
//
// Because boot images are used to dexpreopt other Java modules, the paths to boot image files must
// be known by the time dexpreopt build rules for the dependent modules are generated. Boot image
// configs are constructed very early during the build, before build rule generation. The configs
// provide predefined paths to boot image files (these paths depend only on static build
// configuration, such as PRODUCT variables, and use hard-coded directory names).
//
// 2.3. Singleton
// --------------
//
// Build rules for the boot images are generated with a Soong singleton. Because a singleton has no
// dependencies on other modules, it has to find the modules for the DEX jars using VisitAllModules.
// Soong loops through all modules and compares each module against a list of bootclasspath library
// names. Then it generates build rules that copy DEX jars from their intermediate module-specific
// locations to the hard-coded locations predefined in the boot image configs.
//
// It would be possible to use a module with proper dependencies instead, but that would require
// changes in the way Soong generates variables for Make: a singleton can use one MakeVars() method
// that writes variables to out/soong/make_vars-*.mk, which is included early by the main makefile,
// but module(s) would have to use out/soong/Android-*.mk which has a group of LOCAL_* variables
// for each module, and is included later.
//
// 2.4. Install rules
// ------------------
//
// The primary boot image and the Framework extension are installed in different ways. The primary
// boot image is part of the ART APEX: it is copied into the APEX intermediate files, packaged
// together with other APEX contents, extracted and mounted on device. The Framework boot image
// extension is installed by the rules defined in makefiles (make/core/dex_preopt_libart.mk). Soong
// writes out a few DEXPREOPT_IMAGE_* variables for Make; these variables contain boot image names,
// paths and so on.
//
// 2.5. JIT-Zygote configuration
// -----------------------------
//
// One special configuration is JIT-Zygote build, when the primary ART image is used for compiling
// apps instead of the Framework boot image extension (see DEXPREOPT_USE_ART_IMAGE and UseArtImage).
